The Bourbon Trail is not hard to do; the distilleries are fairly clumped together and is a lot of fun. All it takes a little bit of planning. This was how we did it this year. A brief introduction before you read the schedule. The six distilleries are Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey, Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve and Four Roses. We will be posting pictures and reviews from every distillery, so get excited!
